Andrew of Saint Victor

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Andrew of Saint Victor (died 19 October 1175) was an

exegete. His learning "reflects a great humanist culture ... put at the service of theology,"[1] while he emphasised the literal meaning of the Old Testament "to an extent not found elsewhere in the Middle Ages."[2]

Originally from

Victorine daughter house of Saint James at Wigmore in England.[2] He was at Wigmore between 1148/1149 and 1153, when he left after disagreements with the canons.[1] He returned to Saint Victor for a time before finally returning to Wigmore between 1161 and 1163.[2] He died at Wigmore in October 1175.[1]

Andrew wrote commentaries exclusively on the Old Testament, covering the

church fathers and of Jewish Peshat exegesis.[1]
